At the 18th floor of Broadway, New York City, on the south side of the corner of Wall Street, there was another exclamation in the lobby of the New York Stock Exchange.
The Seattle Trailblazers, which had been optimistic about countless investors, fell below the issue price on the day of listing.
The company's business is mainly for the exploration of extraterrestrial planets, looking for a place to live on the planet. Due to major breakthroughs in space telescope technology, it has been optimistic or will become Columbus in the new century. Not long ago, the Noah's Ark Fund invested $200 million in this company, and today it was just listed, and such an incredible thing happened.
Although it is not a rare thing to break the US stocks on the day, it is still rare to set a near-waist decline on the first day of listing, not to mention a company that was previously optimistic by countless people.
Even more incredible things, this is the second Silicon Valley aerospace company to land in a hard landing in three days.
"God, you can't do this to me, but I put all my belongings on it!" A white man in a suit was covered with bloodshot eyes, holding his head in pain and squatting on the floor.
No one is going to sympathize with him. Most of the people standing here are in the same despair.
The performance of the entire Nasdaq sector was very bad, as if all the companies related to the aerospace industry overnight were returned to their original form.
I don't know how many investors' moods fell into the bottom of the valley along with the downward parabola.
Compared with those who use their own money to buy stocks, many of the people standing here are professional managers who work for investment banks and funds, and there are even some Wall Street figures.
At this moment, the expression on their faces is infinitely dignified. They know very well that the failure of investment means the end of their careers, which means that their luxury homes may be confiscated by banks or even credit cards. As a capitalist's hound, once they lose their sense of money, they will be useless.
Not just Nasdaq.
The Dow Jones Index, known as the US economic barometer, is also a faint storm. Many people who have felt that what is going to happen have begun to reduce their stocks. For this kind of zero-sum game, once the reduction has evolved into a collective behavior, it is very difficult to control it.
On the same street, not far from the New York Stock Exchange, in the Morgan Stanley Building, Daniel Morgan was looking at the newspaper in his hand.
Without any warning, he suddenly smashed the newspapers in his hands and slammed into the corner of the office, screaming angrily.
"Fifty percent of the defense tax? This group of shameless robbers, this is the robbery of red fruit!"
When the previous star-ring trade rallied China, Russia, and the three countries to form the Earth Defense Alliance, he had not taken it to heart. After all, without the participation of the world’s largest economy, what if they can reach an agreement?
If this is what the Earth Defense Alliance is really willing to offer in the first line of selfless dedication, he is naturally welcome with both hands. With the economic strength of the four major powers and more than 20 small countries, I want to squander the burden of defense outside the earth and squander the money on the fortifications and warships without any return, so I can't stand it sooner or later.
Once at that time, with the heavy Wall Street, you can take the results of their labor as their own in the form of a savior.
And this 50% of the defense tax was introduced, Morgan could not sit still.
Since the fall of the Rothschild consortium, global mining giants such as Brazil's Vale and bhp have fallen into the trap of a capital chain break, once on the brink of bankruptcy. The future generation of mining, which has sprung up, has almost swept the world's one-third of the commodity market, stealing the market share of Brazil's Vale and bhp groups through cheap and high-grade ore.
Especially the rare earth mines produced on the moon, the new country has faintly replaced China as the world's largest exporter of rare earths.
It is no exaggeration to say that once the 50% defense tax comes out, the global commodity market has to trigger a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Of course, it is for those non-members.
It’s not just Daniel Morgan who is furious, but the White House’s reaction is similar.
Hillary’s economic adviser saw the true intention of the star trade at a glance.
They are taking the blood of other countries' interests and transfusing their own space industry! Of course, they alone could not eat this fat, so they also tied China and Russia to their chariots.
If it is the era of space competition, how to develop the aerospace industry is just to boost national confidence. However, the profit prospects of the space industry are now more and more amazing, even growing at a geometric speed, which will not allow the White House to be unsatisfactory.
Needless to say, the space industry parks in Silicon Valley and Seattle have already exceeded $1 trillion. If you are kicked off the space elevator at this time, the loss to the United States is undoubtedly heavy.
"The risks of the economic crisis have emerged, and we may not see anything in the short term. But if this defense tax persists for a long time, we will have a bigger gap in the aerospace field. Before everything gets too late, we must do something. what!"
"I propose to impose economic sanctions on new countries suspected of trade protectionism!"
At a regular meeting in Congress, a member of parliament stood up and said fiercely.
Economic sanctions, the term and what antitrust investigations are completely two concepts. If the latter is an assault rifle, then the former is a map gun. According to the market size of both parties, the interests of both parties will be seriously damaged, depending on who can't hold it first.
In the exploitation of the third world, the economic sanctions of the US imperialism are not good. Poverty is used to compel the compromised parties, and they have been playing this game since the Cold War era.
However, this time in Congress, it was rare that there was not much reaction, and even a very different voice appeared.
"Now our priority is to negotiate with the Stars and Trades to minimize the impact of the defense tax on the US space industry, rather than let the conflict escalate further and spread to other areas." A Republican member stood up. Raised objections.
The voice of opposition is unique. Soon, another member of the parliament stood up.
"Second, if it eventually turns into a trade war, I believe we can win in many fields, but in the high-tech field will certainly lose very badly. Especially the virtual reality network, no modern country can leave the virtual reality network, We can't afford this loss at all."
"In addition, there is a very crucial point," said the colleague, who looked around at the other members of the venue and said helplessly. "At this time, the sanctions against the Earth Defense Alliance, we are simply untenable in public opinion. Before the meeting, I paid attention to the official website of the White House. The application for the White House to join the Earth Defense Alliance has exceeded 70 million, including 20 million from North America..."
Members present here face each other.
What they are most worried about has finally happened. (To be continued.)
